An orange orb in Côtes-d'Armor, France

On December 6, 1979, between 9:15 PM and 9:30 PM, several people saw luminous phenomena in the sky that intrigued them. A white luminous mass seemed to move from west to east, then 5 orange light sources appeared, of different shapes depending on the witness (streaks or oval shapes). They gradually disappeared toward the east, fading out progressively. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon, for which we lack information.
